Invincible Soul Emperor

Gradually, they felt themselves surrounded by a warm force, their consciousness beginning to blur, as if entering a dream-like world.

When Xiao Xiao and Xue Feng opened their eyes again, they were already standing in an unfamiliar place.

The sky here was gloomy, and a faint mist hung around, giving an oppressive feeling.

"Xiao Xiao, are we in the Heart Demon Realm?" Xue Feng looked around, a trace of confusion in his eyes.

Xiao Xiao nodded, her expression grave: "It seems so. We must be careful, everything here could be illusions of the Heart Demon."

They walked forward slowly, the surrounding scenes gradually becoming clear.

Suddenly, a black fissure appeared ahead, from which whispers emanated, seemingly luring them closer.

"Xiao Xiao, Xue Feng..." A familiar voice came from the whispers, causing both of them to stop.

That voice seemed to be the call of their closest ones, filled with endless tenderness and care.

Xiao Xiao frowned tightly, speaking in a low voice: "Don’t listen to that voice, the Heart Demon is trying to shake our resolve."

However, Xue Feng seemed attracted by the voice, his expression somewhat dazed: "That’s... my mother’s voice, she’s calling me..."

Xiao Xiao, seeing this, immediately grabbed Xue Feng’s hand and said sternly: "Xue Feng, calm down, that’s the Heart Demon at work!"

Xue Feng awoke with a start at Xiao Xiao’s voice, cold sweat dripping from his forehead: "Sorry, Xiao Xiao, I almost..."

Xiao Xiao shook her head: "It’s okay, we must remind each other and not give the Heart Demon a chance."

They continued forward, the surrounding scenery suddenly changing to Xue Feng’s most familiar hometown. The scenery of his hometown was so realistic, as if they had never left.

"This is... my hometown?" Xue Feng murmured, a trace of nostalgia in his eyes.

Suddenly, he saw many familiar figures appear on the street not far ahead, those were his relatives and friends. The people waved to them, warm smiles on their faces.

"Xue Feng, you’re back!" The calls of the relatives came, filled with endless care and love.

A trace of wavering flashed in Xue Feng’s eyes, and he took a step forward: "These are... our relatives, they are waiting for us to come home..."

Xiao Xiao pulled Xue Feng, her eyes full of vigilance: "Xue Feng, calm down, everything here is an illusion of the Heart Demon. We can’t be deceived by these false images."

Xiao Xiao also didn’t know why everything here was scenes from Xue Feng’s home.

None of it has anything to do with her; do they have to come one by one?

Xue Feng took a deep breath, forcing himself to calm down: "You’re right, these are all illusions, we must not get trapped."

At that moment, the faces of the relatives ahead suddenly changed, becoming hideous and terrifying, rushing toward them. Xiao Xiao and Xue Feng retreated immediately, forming hand seals with both hands, ready to face the sudden attack.

"These are illusions of the Heart Demon, we must defeat them!" Xiao Xiao shouted, the Fire Element rapidly gathering, forming a red glow, blocking those illusions.

Xue Feng also quickly mobilized the Ice Element within him, forming an Ice Wall to block the attacks of those illusions.

They fought side by side, and although the illusions looked incredibly real, they knew that as long as they maintained a firm State of Mind, they could overcome anything.

These illusions were of rather ordinary strength.

After a bout of fierce battle, the two finally repelled those illusions.

However, they both knew very well that this was only the beginning of the Heart Demon Realm, the real test was yet to come.

They continued on, arriving at a desolate land.

Here, there wasn’t a trace of life, only endless darkness and cold. They felt an inexplicable sense of oppression, as if countless eyes were secretly watching them.

"Xiao Xiao, we must be careful, this place is full of danger." Xue Feng said in a low voice, eyes filled with vigilance.

Xiao Xiao nodded, hands clenched, ready to respond to any sudden danger.

Suddenly, a deep laugh came from the darkness ahead, carrying endless evil and mockery, sending chills down their spines.

"Welcome to the Heart Demon Realm, mortals." A deep and evil voice rang out, seeming to penetrate directly into their souls.

Xiao Xiao and Xue Feng stopped, looking around warily. They saw a tall and vague figure gradually appearing in the darkness ahead, carrying endless pressure, like the embodiment of darkness.

"Do you think you can defeat the Heart Demon?" The figure sneered, "Here, you will face the deepest fears and desires of your heart. Only by defeating yourselves can you leave."

Xiao Xiao clenched her fists, speaking calmly: "Whatever you are, we won’t be intimidated by you. We will definitely defeat the Heart Demon and leave here!"

The figure let out a chilling laugh: "Very well, then let me see your resolve!"

As soon as the words fell, countless illusions suddenly surged from the darkness around them, all manifestations of Xiao Xiao and Xue Feng’s deepest fears and desires. They carried endless evil and temptation, trying to consume them.

Xiao Xiao and Xue Feng stood in place, both frowning, looking at everything around them.

"These illusions are terrifying, but as long as we maintain a pure State of Mind and firm will, we can overcome everything, Little Girl Xiaoxiao, must not be confused by these things." Xue Feng said slowly, looking around.

At that moment, Xiao Xiao didn’t know if she was affected by these things, only feeling the Demonic Qi inside her constantly moving.

Xiao Xiao knew that she absolutely couldn’t let the Demonic Qi inside her run amok now, and hurriedly suppressed it silently.

Fortunately, she quickly suppressed the Demonic Qi inside her.

And soon, those things lunged at them.

"Xiao Xiao, let’s go together!" Xue Feng shouted, the Ice Element within him rapidly gathering, forming an Ice Wall to fend off the illusion attacks.

Xiao Xiao nodded, the Fire Element rapidly converging, forming red beams of light that blocked those illusions.

"Come on, we’re not afraid of you!" Xue Feng shouted, the Ice Element in his hand turning into countless Ice Blades, fiercely stabbing at the illusions, shattering them one by one.

Xiao Xiao nodded, the Fire Element growing stronger, forming solid sheets of fire, blocking the illusions’ attacks.

A cold glint flickered in her eyes: "Xue Feng, you go to the left, I’ll go to the right!"

The illusions seemed endless, but only approached them from the middle, leaving both sides clear.

Xiao Xiao didn’t know what was going on, but perhaps they could exploit this gap to defeat these things!

The two attacked from both sides, one ice, one fire, the illusions seemed caught in a realm of ice and fire.

Screams rose and fell.
